Exocet
Exocet is a multifunctional chair made of Baltic birch and aluminium. The chair is built from a series of identical curved slats assembled around a central cylinder. The use of one basic slat shape supports an efficient fabrication process. Exocet can be set in several configurations, including a standard chair, a rocking long chair and a folded form. To change the shape, the user releases the pressure with the handle, moves the sections around the cylinder and tightens the handle again. The result is a chair with many positions and very few parts.
Exocet Multifunctional Chair by Stéphane Leathead has been highlighted as an innovative representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Exocet Multifunctional Chair earned the Golden A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2015. The A' Furniture Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award which celebrates exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
